As well as star Peter Capaldi, ‘Twice Upon a Time’ will also feature David Bradley as the Doctor’s first incarnation. They’ll be joined by Mark Gatiss as an as-yet-unnamed First World War captain and Pearl Mackie returning as Bill. Not to mention Nikki Amuka-Bird as the voice of the Glass Woman and, of course, Jodie Whittaker debuting as the new Doctor.
